Re: Odds that President Trump will not finish his term

You do know that hoping for the pilot to fail may kill all aboard the aircraft right? Good point. For me, I don't hope he fails. I am just worried that he is going to fail. I was worried when I saw him in the airport stumbling around before we got on the plane. Most of the policy stuff getting impl...

Re: Poor Donny's getting demoralized by the all the meanies

When he starts building that fence and starts deporting junior democrats I think the stroking out will be widespread.

Re: Lacrosee. America's new garbage sport

Very nice neighbor kid, three houses up, used to practice all year long in his back yard. I used to pick up a dozen lacrosse balls in our yard and give them back to him a couple times a year. He got a full ride at some college near Washington to play. It paid off for him.

The Musk vision is the roof, hood, paint, etc. will become some type of super solar array to recharge batteries during sunny conditions. Part pipe dream and part possibility. Maybe.

Anybody here own one of these or following the company? Company has almost a cult-like following similar to Apple a decade ago. It seems their early leadership in EV's has pushed ALL the other auto companies to play catch up.

Re: Savings and retirement

Dik, Brokers can sell Vanguard funds, but they don't get a kickback, like with, say, American Funds. So they have no motive to push Vanguard. I'd say this guy was giving reasonable advice. I hope this broker suggested VTI. Tim, as a former Reg. Inv. Advisor with a top five firm, I'm aware of the ru...

Most/all of the above advice is based on the economy's Normal continuing indefinitely. And it probably will.

Weaver 3 x 9 variable. Good value for a new hunter. Should be around $100 USD. There's better, but this is a rugged scope for most all conditions.(edit): of course if it's going on a Weatherby, I'd be embarrassed to suggest that. Opt for the over and under scope mounts, so you can shoot with the iro...

Tim, a couple of things improve balance. Performing the first rite of the Five Tibetan Rites improves balance.
